Nevertheless, as in the case of any group, each one of our tutors has his individual traits which chisel into the minds of all of us those memories we retain forever. None of us can ever forget the perpetual quid in Dr. Bill Speas ' jaws or the enormous pipe of Dr. Hubert Poteat. When we have long forgotten whether it ' s hors d ' oeuvres or chef d ' oeuvre which wc eat, or whether the Treaty of Utrecht was signed in 171 3 or 1914. we will still remember the inseparable trio of Professors Parcell, Giddings, and West. Long will we see with televisual memory the reason that Dr. Pearson was called Skinny. ' ' We will never lose sight of the calm, ever unperturbed appearance of Dr. Broadus Jones, who is head of a department of versatile instructors . . . Prof. Aycock and his renditions of popular swing numbers, Prof. Ha good and his varied tap steps. Undoubtedly many of us will recall in 24

■ HEMBER THEM James Hilton, one of today ' s foremost novelists, created in Mr. Chips a lovable college professor, who sat serenely by and watched the boys come and go, year after year, and stole a niche in the heart of each of them. As the youthful prep school students in the life of Mr. Chips, all of us regret the days when we, too, have to say ' ' Goodbye to our teachers. Though the freshman may come to Wake Forest with the preconceived idea that all college professors are eccentric and absent- minded, their notions are dispelled in a week. Straightway vanish the stories of college instructors who walk around in rain with umbrellas on their arms, or who put on two shirts and wonder where the first one disappeared. The Wake Forest faculty is human, down- to-earth, willing to go the last mile to help. Though his stay was short, we will never forget the late Donald Pfohl. s I J I I I Drs. Giddings and Jones seem- ingly enjoy the Phi Beta Kappa Banquet. We will never forget Dr. Hubert as a professor, a golfer, and most of all as a speaker. Dr. Folk plays many roles on our campus — teacher coach, j ournalist, speaker, and friend. Able to speak on any subject, Dr. Binkley leads one of the student group discussions. 23

Dr. Rea ' s eight o ' clock pops in economics often made us wish Uncle Sam was in the war. Coach Jim and Dr. Githens certainly know how to choose attractive wives. the future the purchase of socks from Prof. Berry, because we thought it would help to pass German, even though we didn ' t need the socks. We will ever roar at the witticisms of Prof. Raynor, just as we did when we thought it would give us at least a D in math. All of us who ever struggled with one of Dr. Reid ' s gigantic term paper projects or laughed at Dr. Cocke ' s account of the love scenes between a drone and a queen bee will retain forever these memories of our college days. Cer- tainly Prof. Memory ' s educational yarns about fellows I used to know and the odors of hydrogen sulphide coming from the depths of one of Dr. Wyatt ' s chem- istry lab will remain parts of the mental scrapbooks of our collegiate experiences. All in all, we can never forget our Pro- fessors . . . some of the Swellest Guys in our lives. ■ ■ ■ ■ I I I ■ ■I Chemistry and Music is certainly two entirely different fields, but Dr. Isbell can mix them both to perfection.
